WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY

I recently discovered two reservoir I did not know about that were only
a few miles away from where I live.
There are not many birds on them and they always seem to prefer being in
the middle of the reservoir which is not so good for getting shots of themI am linking this post withWild Bird Wednesday.

So today I photographed these 2 male Tufted duck and these Little Grebes. There were quite a number of the Grebes

Today I photographed seven Canada Geese in our front pool at the float cabin. This is the earliest sighting on record. I'm not sure if they are really early or some of the resident geese overwintering on the grounds of the hospital in town 20 miles away. - Margy

About Me

I have retired from a medical background, from teaching a 3 year City and Guilds; and also running a Bed and Breakfast. I have taken up bird watching later in life however I became very enthusiastic from the beginning and was greatly encouraged by other bird watchers. For the past 8 years I have led a bird group in my town and have become a guest speaker on cruise shipstalking about Birds around the world. I have travelled quite a bit,in particular to Australia where one of my daughters lives. I have now as many birding friends there as at home in Northern Ireland. I love Nature and being able to share that with others of like mind. I also like photography and do my best to photograph birds although I sometimes get a bit frustrated as my zoom is just not powerful enough.

My daughter and family that were in Australia have now moved to Malawi to work and I have visited them several times as well as visiting Zambia. I.live in Northern Ireland which is part of the UK and it is a beautiful place to live however I love travelling and wil continnue to travel aslong as I am able. I would love to go to visit bloggers that I follow and they are always very welcome here in N. Ireland.
